"I'm so sorry Kurt," Blaine had said for the 20th time just since they had walked into the Lima Bean, and they hadn't even sat down yet. "It's not a big deal. I swear," Kurt said as he picked up two of the four coffee cups on the counter. "Yes it is! I could have at least told you how bad the dorms are before you got your heart set on move to them!" Blaine sounded very sorry, but there wasn't even anything to be sorry about. "Blaine even if you had told me it wouldn't have changed my decision; I really didn't have a choice any way! Westerville is to far form Lima for me to drive to school every morning and I would have to get up at like 5 in the morning every day just so I could do my moisturizing regimen and drive to school just so I could get to school just before 1st period." Kurt paused for a second and then looked over at Blaine affectionately. "And besides, boarding at Dalton means I get to spend more time with you." Blaine felt his cheeks heat up under the stare of Kurt's beautiful blue eyes.
The reached their usual table in the very back of the shop. They sat down right next to each other and sat the two extra cups across from them. They were sitting so close that that every time Blaine breathed his arm brushed Kurt's. Kurt reached his had under the table and found Blaine's hand and laced his fingers through the other boy's fingers. Blaine's heart caught in his throat as Kurt leaned down so his blue eyes were looking right into his hazel ones. Then Blaine slowly leaned forward tilting his head just slightly as both boys closed their eyes, just as their lips were centimeters away from each other's, so close that their eyelashes brushed, Rachael skipped up, perkier than ever, with Mercedes trailing behind her at about half the speed. "Hi!" she said. Blaine let a sad whimper escape from his lips. Mercedes' eyes grew the size of dinner plates when she realized what her over excited friend had just interrupted. "Rachael!" she hissed through clenched teeth. Then it dawned on Rachael. "Oh! Oh my god! I am so sorry! Please carry on!" she said. She felt like the dumbest person on Earth right then. This didn't matter to Blaine though he just leaned a half a centimeter closer before Kurt put his hand on his chest to stop him from leaning closer. Blaine looked at Kurt with hurt in his eyes. Why doesn't he want to kiss me in front of his friends? It's not like Rachael and Finn don't practically make out in front of us on our double dates! And Mercedes and Sam kiss in public all the time! Is he embarrassed by me? At the same time Kurt was having his own army of thoughts race through his mind. Oh god Blaine is so adorable! Oh god I want to kiss him so bad! I just- I can't. I mean I don't want to make this anymore awkward then it already is, we're already opponents at sectionals. And with this a thought ran to his mind. He quickly turned around and gave Blaine a soft peck on the cheek. "Oh come on! You have got to be kidding me! The whole glee club has been watching guys like hawks! Even when you're at Dalton! And that's what we get! Just- ugh!" Rachael almost screeched at them. "Rachael! Really?! Do I need to cover your mouth with duct tape?!" Mercedes hissed eyes blazing. "But really guys, we have never seen you guys kiss and we practically stalk you. Wait! Have those Dalton boys ever seen you guys kiss?" Mercedes asked like she was interrogating a prime suspect in a mass murder. "Of course we have! Everyone in Winsor has!" Ethan chimed in as he and Evan stopped right in front of their table with Wes and David trailing not far behind them. "We have to make sure White Rabbit doesn't hurt our little Alice!" "So we asked Caterpillar to install cameras in both his and White Rabbits rooms!" and with that they pulled up chairs from a nearby table and placed them on either side of Kurt and sat down simultaneously grinning the same Cheshire cat smiles. "You did what?!" Kurt asked his eyes growing to be the size of tea cups, cheeks burning red as cherries. He was horrified, and he was positive that his face showed it too. He prayed to whatever being that lived beyond that he had not just heard them correctly. The twin's smiles both faded to small guilty, apologetic half smiles. "We're sorry Alice." They said together. "We just want to make sure your safe and that Rabbit doesn't hurt you exceptionally after what happened last time." Ethan said rapping Kurt in a big hug "We just care about you too much to let anything happen to you on are watch!" Evan cried coping his brother's actions and they both cried into Kurt's shoulders. At heart Kurt knew they meant well. But he personally was going to demand that Han take down whatever little spy cameras he has set up. But for now he was going to try not to strangle the two boys crying boys that were just being over dramatic like always because really the crying was just put on. Kurt was pulled from his train of thought by a sudden flash of light coming from none other than Wes' phone. Kurt had been so lost I n thought that he hadn't even realized that his two other best friends had sat down. Ethan and Evan still hadn't removed their arms from around him and still had their heads buried in his shoulders. "You know Kurt you should be flattered. The Tweedles never show this much passion in protecting a single person before. Actually you should be honored that they have named you their Alice in Warblerland." David said matter-of-factly with nods and words of agreement from around the table, except from Mercedes and Rachael who were looking at them all like they all had two heads. "Why in the world do they keep calling you Alice? And what is Warblerland? And why did he just Wes just call them 'The Tweedles'? And who's 'The Caterpillar'? And why does this all sound so familiar?" Rachael questioned like she had just heard a conversation going on in a foreign langue, which, in a way, she had. "I don't want drag you into the craziest that is my life now." Kurt said with a smile and with that the twins pulled their heads away from Kurt's shoulders, although they each kept an arm around him, and smiled their signature identical smiles. "We all have to get back to campus anyway before Charlie 'locks' the doors." Evan said. Then everyone at the table burst into fits of laughter except Mercedes and Rachael who missed the little inside joke. "Ok I guess we have to go 'cedes." Kurt said with a frown. "Ok Boo. Text me when you get back to Dalton!" Mercedes sighed. And with that the small group stood and Kurt walked over and gave both the girls a hug. The twins waved furiously at the girls. "bye beautiful talking flowers! Say hello to your flower friends for us!" the twins said together. Kurt smiled to himself thinking wow this is my life now. At least I know this is a good change. I hope… and with that the small group left The Lima Bean and part their ways at the parking lot each going to their own cars except Kurt and Blaine who drove together.
The group arrived at the doors of Windsor right before curfew all out of breath from running from the parking lot. They all burst through the doors to find Reed and Dwight where the only occupants. Reed jumped up and tripped on the rug and fell face forward on the ground. Dwight on the other hand, who had his back to the door when it open, whirled around and spayed his holy water right in Kurt's face. Kurt just gaped at Dwight like a dead fish while everyone else in the room burst into laughter except Dwight who turn quickly and ran towards the stairs. "Please Kurt! Don't kill me! Please! PLEASE!" Dwight screamed halfway up the stairs. Then Kurt realized what had just happened and broke down into a fit of laughter. At that moment everyone stop giggling for a minute and stared at Kurt who couldn't even be bothered to notice everyone staring at him. Dwight, frightened even more by Kurt's reaction, took out his baggy salt and quickly formed a ring around himself then threw the bag to Reed and yelled, "Hurry put a ring of protection around yourself!" at this Kurt looked up and saw a m ix of different emotions on his friends faces that were all staring at him, Dwight's horrified, Ethan, Evan, Wes, and David's amused, and Blaine and Reed's very confused. "What?" he asked starting to become scared himself at why they were all staring at him. "It looks like Windsor is finally starting to change you! I mean you normally would have freaked out and chased Dwight around Windsor. But your laughing!" Evan cheered. Kurt blushed and then looked up to see everyone was grinning from ear to ear. "Oh shut up!" he giggled. Then everyone ran up and swallowed him a big group hug.
